Yes, it worked great... Please read this and let me know what you think.

Hello everyone I hope someone can help me this is the second time Vista
has crashed on me and the only way I can use my computer is to format and
reload.
I am running 2 hard drivers in a raid 0 stripping, when I load Vista it
wants a driver for the raid and its controler now windows update will find a
driver but when I go to load it I get error code 80070103.
After I load all the other Vista updates and try to load the driver again
I get a screen telling me that it can not load because the name is already
in use.
Now this would not be a problem but everytime I boot windows it wants the
driver and wants me to reboot the system to load it.
So I researched the error code found an up date for it on the help site
and loaded it, worked great... Driver loaded. So I rebooted the system to
finnish loading the driver and windows crashed can't even get the safe mode
to load up....
So I tried repairing windows from the install disk. No help there I get
the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Can anyone help me so I don't have to
reformat again I am working from a second computer of mine hoping that I
will not have to go through the pains of rebuilding the whole system again.
Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben, basically 8000FFFF stands for "Generic Unexpected error" which
isn't
too helpful.

This could be because of corruption in the registry, a Third party
program
is affecting the WU Service (anti-spwyare programs, Internet/web
accelerators, Firewall/Anti-Virus programs) or the downloaded file is
corrupt.

Have a look at: http://taurarian.mvps.org/WU_Vista/vista.htm
